Greetings Toshio,

It is possible to byte compile both Python 2.4 and Python 2.6 packages within the same SPEC, 
please have a look at bug:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=700567

The line that is important is "%global __os_install_post %__multiple_python_os_install_post"

You have to do the byte compiling fairly manually in this case of py26 in the
same package.

I believe that Python_pbs is for instance correct but I can't verify myself at moment.
